Coltjhbuj Sun: Last night a very
fsir audience appeared in the opera
house to witness the sensational play of
“Tha Danitee,” by the McKee Batkin
truepe. Just before the curtain rcse,
man in black, with heavy beard, hat In
baud, appeared bafore tho footlights,
and, >n an exciting manner, spoke in sub
stance as follow s: "I have a disagreeable
thing to do. My namo is Baukia
iinYo rented this ball and paid for it, and
also paid the county tax, and hence it is
my property for to-night. I am able to
pay one hundred cents in the dollar for
all the dubta I contraot. There are two
policemen in tho gallery who must either
pay or leave the hall, or there will be no
Duct'cs presented hero to-night. I will
lose five hundred dollars but that I will
do what I propose. It is a matter of
dollar to me. These men must go or
money will be rofonded the audience at
the door, and there will be no play. If
necessary I can point oat the men. Am
I not right?”
The irate speaker was greeted with
■omu applause and coins hisses, bat the
audience, as a whole, thoeght the exhibi
tion a very uncalled for one. What he do
sired could have been remedied without
snob on nnseemlyand totally unnecessary
display, and without fancying his nodi
tcry. Ho clearly showed his ears.
We presume tho officers left, for the
speaker went back whence he came. This
useless episode had tho effect to throw a
damper over the entertainment for the
seat of the evening.
Truss: We have recently beard of
some very good farming, but yesterday
we heard cf somo that is worth making a
note of. Mr. A J. Grant, who lives in
Valley Plains distric', Harris county,
bne this year cultivated a crop with one
mule from which he has gathered eigh
teen full bales of cotton and three be a
tired bushel* ofoorn, besides about three
thousand pounds of fodder. He only
need one mule in the cultivation. Anoth
er farmer, Mr. J. A- Whito, msde four
hundred bushels of corn and four
teen bait s of cotton weighing 500 pounds
each, on a ono-borse farm. This was be.
side a orop of fedder, peas, potatoes, etc
He had tix bales of cotton in the city
y. erdav. and has eight more to bring,
This is good farming, aud while one far
mer can make so large a crop we seo no
receoa why others oould not bring their
land np to making equally as heavy a
yield. They certainly oould if they
would confine themselves to a smaller
area, and give it the attention that is too
often wasted in trying to cultivate broad
sores.
From the Southerner and Appeal
Wc have the particulars of a outticg af
fray that occurred between two negroes
on the plantation of Mr. A. J. Miller,
last Saturday night. Iverson Stubbs, a
negro wbo hss been out of the Stats pec-

while eo offered an insult to Joe Watters,
Brother negro, by knocking his hat off.
Jon remonstrated with him, and warned
him not to do so again. Iverson then
gathered np a fence rail, and attempted
k> Ptriko Joo with it. Joe then aesamed
the defensive and need his knife, cntttng
a gash from about two inohee from the
left nipple, slanting downward into the
abdomen.
The cutting was done at abont 9 o’clock
Saturday night, bat it was 2 o’clock Sun
dsy morniog before the dootor reached
t&u wot n led man, though the doctor
w'nt as soon aa ho was called for. Dr.
Flukex attended tho wounded negro, and
when bo reached him he found the eo
ti*o stomach protruding, though the cat
was scarcely three inches in length. It
was found necessary to enlarge the cat
k> order to get the negro’s stomach
back in place, when the dooter sowed np

A LESSON IN MYTHOLOGY.

A little mytboho etory
Abont the meld wbo laughed at love
And ran a raoe for love and glory.
I closed the book. She raised her eyes,
And buabed the song ehe had been hum-

Glancing across tha shady lawn,
I aaw my wealthy rival ooming.
“These ancient talcs,” I gravely said,
“With maaning wise are often laden,
And Atalauta welt may stand
As type of many a modem maiden.
“Minns, of course, the classic sandal,
Bnt with so less of nimble graoe,
How many dainty slippered feet
A running now that self-same raoe!
“And when Hippomenes casts down
His golden applet, is there ever
A ohanee for love to resell the goal?”
With aauey smile, ehe answered, “Nevct!”
I rose to go—she took my hand—
(Oh, Fatal you ne’er that clasp can sev

And “etay,” she said, with a sudden blnsb.
“You know that I meant—“hardly ever.”

Bermntfa tirssi.
The question as to whether or not Bermu
da grass seeds in this oenutry, or rather as
to whether it seeds anywhere, is now being
cgUatcdand discussed. We are anxiously
awaiting light on this subj eat, says the Knox
ville Tribuoe, and have no doubt but that
seme of our more Southern contemporaries
can settle the vexed question. The limited
opportunity ws have had for observing the
habits of thU grass, satisfies us that it pcs-
seveer, by some means, an almost unequded
capacity for spreading itself over ground.
The last number of the American Agricultu
rist in reply to an application from areeident
of Florida for some seed of tho Bermuda
grass, says:
Many other applications besides yours,
have been made for the seed of Bermuda
graes, and we have stated several times that
none could be had. The plant in this ooan-
try. at least, bears no seed. Wo have ex

last twenty yean, and have not been able to
find even an immature seed. It Is some

Of the root of which will grow—is another

The Babfwa to tbe Front.
At the banquet of the army of Tenn
eases in Chicago, wbioh came efi on the
12th of November, the following toast
Was offered: “The Babes. As they
comfort ns in onr sorrows, let us not for
get them in onr festivities.”
To this sentiment Mark Twain respond
ed in the following off-hand but brilliant
remarks, wbioh will touch bottom in the
heart of every parent:
Nowr, that’s something like. We
haven’t all had the good rortnne to be
ladies; we haven’s all been generals, or
statesmen; bnt when tbe toast works
down to the babies, we stand on common
ground—for wa’ve all been babies. It is
a shams that for a thousand years tbe
world’s banqnents haye utterly ignored
the baby—as if he didn’t amount to
anything! If yon, gentlemen, will stop
and think a minute—if you will go back
fifty or a hundred years, to your early
married life, and recontemplate your
first baby, you will remember that he
am ranted to a good deal—and even some
thing over.
You soldiers all know that when that
little fellow arrived at family headquar
ters you had to hand in your resignation.
He took entire command. You beoame
his lackey, hie mere body guard; and you
had to stand around, too. Ha wa3 not
commander who made allowances for
time, distance, weather, or anything else;
you had to execute his order whether it
was possible or not. And there was only
one form of marching in his manual of
tactics, and that was the don'ole.qaick.
Ha treated yon with every sort of ineo
iencs and disrespect, and the bravest of
yoa didn’t dare to say a word. You could
face the death storm of Donelaon and
Yickaburg, and give baok blow for bio*
bat when he clawed your whiskers, and
polled yonr hair, and twisted your nose,
yon had to take it. When the thunders
of war were sounding in yonr ears you
set yoar faoes toward the batteries
and advanced with steady tread; but
when be turned on the terrors of his war-
whoop, you advanced in—the other di
reotion, and mighty glad of the chance,
too. When he colled for soothing syrup,
did yon venture to throw out any side re
marks about certain services being unbe
oosing an cfiner and a gentleman?
No; you got up and got it. If he oidered
his pap bottle, and it wasn’t warm, did
you talk back? Not you; you went to
work acd warmed it. Yen even
descended so far in your menial
office as to take a sack at that warm, in-
eipid stuff yourself to see if it was right
—three parts water to ouo of milk, a
touch of sugar to modify the colio, aud a
drop of peppermint to kill those immortal
hiccoughs. I a an taste that stuff yet.
And how many things you learned hb
yoa went along 1 Sentimental yocny
folks still take stock in that beautiful old
eajiog that when the baby 6miles in nis
sleep it is because the angels are whis
paring to him. Very pretty, bat “ioo
thin”—simply wind on tbe stomach, my
friends. If the baby propoeed to taken
walk at its usual hour—half-past 2 in the
morning—didn’t you rise up promptly
with the remark (with a mental addition
which wonldn't improve a Sunday school
much) that that was the very thing you
were about to propose yonrself ? Ob
you were under good discipline. And as
you went flattering up and down the room
in your “undress uniform,” you
not only prattled undignified baby
talk, but even tuned np yonr
martial voices and tried to sing, “Bock
a-by baby on the tree top,” for instance.
What a spectaole for an army of the

a Tree and Dies*
Omtha Bopublioan 1
A few wicks sinoa some miners dieoovered
a very singuUr curiosity in the mountains
near Bonanza Oity, Idaho—nothing lees
than the mammoth bead and horns of a
mountain ram grown into a pins tree. The
ahull was forma firmly imbedded in a grow
ing pine, the trank of the latter being Borne
eighteen inches in diameter, with the horns
protruding and one in its natural ourye re-
entering the wood eight inches Mr. Fred.
Meyers, of the Quallis & Bonanza stage line,
soon heard of the “fiad,” had the tree felled
and the section containing the ram’s head
neatly sawed off. Mr. Meyers has expressed
the unique specimen to Thos. L. Kimball,
General Passe gcr and Ticket Agent of the
Union PaoiQo, in whose offioe it is now on
exhibition.
It was a source of much surmising yester
day npon tbe put of dezans of vieiior* at
the Union Pacifio headquarters as to how
tho horns became thus fattened, and how
many years this lord of the sheep tribe has
been iu piled In tho lonely mountains of
Idaho, oome are of the opinion that the
animal, in eeatch of food, waa caught in the
tree eoores of years ago when it waa a mere
sapling, and unable to extricate itself, there
died, the tree gradually growing t over tbe
eknil. Such iustai-oes in the ease of deer
are very oommon, but none has been ever
been ohronioud, or at least not reported, in
which tho wonaoifaUy muscular mountain
Tam has nm suoh a fate. Another theory is
that some Indian or oid time employe of tbe
great fur companies received a straight away
hit from the ram, and in a fit of revenge
hung his ramship up to recall tha incident
or tho unfortunate affair and indulge in re
morse, hut forgot to take him down. An
other is that in one of those terrific battles
in which mountain rims often indulge each
other this oue was “dodged” byhisantigj-
niet at a very critioal period aud a forked
sapling received tha onslaught, never after
giving up its embrace. Still another is that
it is a praoiioal illustration ot the theory of
protoplasm. Certain it is the ram got in

The he ia nothing in the Grant boom
down South. Tho first intimation the
country had of suoh a “boom,” was con
tained in a letter to the Courier-Journals
written by its correspondent, “Fan Han
dle,” from Charleston, S. C. Now, we
happen to know that “Fan Handle” ie
a pronounaed Democrat,aud is no more a
Grant man than the rest of us. He be
lieves that the boom, so-oalied, grew out
of a state of exisperation that over
whelmed the people after the Ohio and
New York elections—this and nothing
mere.
“Fan Handle’s” letters have been
much read and discussed, but he believes
the Grant boom ia an inflated humbug,
to use bis own expression.

According to the New York World they
want “a large garrison of regular troops
in Washington,” aud mean to have ir,
although General Hsnoook, who is nomi
nally in command, fails to see the “need-
ceseity” ofjthat “large garrison of regular
troops.” But the Republicans assert,
with a wink of the left eye, that these
rebellions, revolutionary and deceitfal
Democrats are slyly maturing a plan to
count out and kiok out the next Presi
dent-elect, who will, of eourse, be a Be-
pnblloan.
They note the alarming faob that a
nnmber of “Confederate brigadiers” have
taken np their quarters in tha Capitol
in oloae contiguity to the Middle States,
which they might overran and destroy
before these States could gather tegetber
the few millions of their imperfeotly or
ganized militia to repel a sudden attack.
This makes it imperative that the troops
in Washington should ba regular troop.«7
with nothing to do but to watch these
brigadiers, who are very desperate people,
and, when under sixty-five years of age,
extremely agile.
The plan 1b to have a "a large garrison
of regular troops” not only in Washing
ton, but auxiliary garrisons all around
Washington, in supporting distance, so
that the moment these bloody brigadiers
emerge from their hole9 in the Capitol,
many of them with pistole in their belts,
and some, it iB to be feared, with whisky
under the belt—word may be passed by
lightning to all the “large garrisons of
regular troops,’ acd the larger regiments
and divisions of regular militia, to turn
out and save the oountry, before thesa
brigadiers get a o~ auoe to come to olose
quarters and destroy it.
And what adds to the alarm of the na
tion, is the expectation that Grant is to
be the next President eleot, and of course
the victim. Grant is not used to suoh
scenes of violenoe; and besides, even if
be were, in starting a military govern
ment,he wants supplies of military around
him in abuodsnos. A brick house is not
to be bnilt without briok aud mortar, aud
it should be piled up conveniently,
all burnt, mixed and ready for use.
The victim can’t take too much care,
after considering the example of Hayes,
who waa counted in by these brigadiers,
aga'nat a majority of hnndreda of thona-
Buds, with the meat frightful lying and
perjury and forgery—with oaths tha:
made the hair ot tho people turn white in
a night, aud fearful plots to kidnap old
Tdden—hurrying him on board a mud
scow with shotted guna and sink him be
yond the Sandy Hook Bar, with a hedge
anchor comfortably adjusted to bis neck.
The vigilance cf these people in
making such early provisions for “large
garrisons of regular troops” cannot be too
much commended. They have the wel
fare of that part of the nation which
they recognize, closely to heart, and they
moan it shall be great and safe and
above all things riob.

A Colored State Fair la Ala
b.->
The first fair ever held by the colored citi
zen! of Alabama is now progretaing snocesa-
lnlly in Montgomery, and a notable fevu-e
of the exhibition is the warm interest taken
in it by the whites. They have oo -operated
in every way possible with their colored
friends, and tho feeling between the two ro

Bight well and truthfully foes our con
temporary, the Advertiser and Mail, remark
“These dusty sons of the soil—those faith
ful toilers in the land they love, have brave

tiently borne the burden and the heat of tbe

bition shows they begin to experience some
thing of the satisfaction and success that
oems from honest toil and duty faithfully
performed. Already tha dawn of a better
day breaks brightly about them. No prom

fitful light over their happy surroundiega.
Union Leagues and Freedmen’s Banks are

sconodreli that eo long preyed oa their

march them in hostile array against their
best interoat and their beet friends. Con
tentment and peace and a oheeriog promise
of better things everywhere prevail. As we
have before stated, they have well won the
tsepeet and kindly lenecaragement of the
whites by th6ir patient indaitry acd proper
behavior. And we are sate we are far from
hoping against hops when we look, aa wn do,
to the imure with a serene and settled faith
that tbe honest, patient and persistent en

Tbe Toombs—Grans Telegram
The Washington corresp'ndent of the
Baitimaro Sun, thus spa its of the late dis
patch sent by Gen. Toombs to Chicago:
A Georgia politician of note gives a very
cations and airikmg theory ot the much-
tslsedcf telegram sent to Chicago by Gen.
Toombs on tho occasion of Gen. Grant’s ri-
ceptim there. He doeB not doubt its gen-
nineties*, and thinks that it had a subtle mo
tive. Toombs -aa bean an avowed Grant
tuna for fivs years. He so expressed him
self to a corxeepoudent in tbe summer of
1874. Becently he wae stated to have said
that he greatly preferred te ese Graut a dic
tator than a northern President, because
tbe latter class cf polit : ci«na wece all
“sneak* and cowards.” To his mind Grant
represeats the best assurance to the Bouts
cf restored dignity and equality in tho Un
ion. ‘ What more natural, then,” said the
politician air tad? quoted, “than that Toombs
should seek to help Gen. Grant a', the North?
With all his wild talk, Gen. Toombs is re
markably wise as a counsellor. Nobody
would be mere apt to see tbe certain damige
to Grant s chances for the Itepabllcan nomi
nation likely to follow tho victories of the
Bepublictns in <he fall elections. If gsiured
o‘f tncoess with Baine or fcherman they
have not much use for Grant, whom they
propose to take only as a dernier resort, and
as seoarity against tbe Bomb, knowing what
an enfant terrible he is at the Nort', and
perfectly reckless ot the tffeol open himself.
Toombs saw hie opportunity to help Grant by
appealing to the spprebenEisns of thestal-
ilar legislation. _
The following are tbe messages cf con- j wartB of a new rebellion at the South, and
gretulation exchanged between. the gov-1
States. On the 20th instant tho follow
ing dispatch was sent from Paris to
Hayes:
‘The President of the French Bepublie
inaugurates the new cable which unites
France and America by Bending the ex
pression of bis most cordial sentiments
to the President of tho Bepublio cf the
United States.”
To this President HayeB sent the fol
lowing reply:
“To the President of tho French Eeptiblie,
Paris: The President of tbe United
States acknowledges, with great satis
faction, tbe agreeable communication by
which the President of the French Ba-
pnblto makes known to him th& comple-
tion end successful operation of tho trans-
Atlantic cable, and hopes that it may
never bs tbe vehiole of any other mess
ages between the governments and peo
ple of the two countries than these of

TheGbeat Uts Chive Oubax. — A
gentleman in this vicinity, whose son in-
,aw and daughter reside in Colorado

graphs of tho head o’aief of tbe Utes and
tbreo of hi3 sub-chiefs. Ouray wore a
loose blou39 trimmed with beads appar
ently, and is abont fifty years of age.
His face has a kind and benevolent cast,
in striking contrast with the looks of his
subordinates. The countenance of one
of the latter wss the very impersonation
of brutality aud villainy. Ouray occu
pies a commodious adobe mansion, about
ten miles from the reservation, erected
by the government, and lives in style
npon his extensive farm. The relatives
of onr informant dined wi'h the Chief
and wore entertained moat sumptuously.
He has bat one wife who works regular
ly in the field, and can with difficulty be
persuaded to ride is her lord's carriage
with him. Oaray has always been very
friendly to the whites, and is doing his
best to pacify the several tribes of. which
he is the head. The authorities at Wash
ington repose great confidence in him,
and there is gujd reason to hops that be
will succeed ia making bis followers givo
up the Indiana who perpetrated 'the re
cent shocking m -ssacro. When Ouray
received intelligence of thiB deed of
blood he sent swift runners to the white
Battlements, announcing the catastrophe
and patting them npon their guard.
PnaoiEua as a Cuazroa Oonsuapnox.—
A Dr. M. M. Grffitb, of BrAdford Fa., re

results by the administration of etude petro

ty are cured, so far as any ontward signs of
disease are concerned, and the rest have
been materially benefited, none having been

The Gsowra or Wealth in New Iosk —
Fifty years ago, says tho Times, only ono
citizen ot New York city, John JatobAetor,
was worth more than $1,000,000. Now it is
asserted that there are over five hundred
men in the metropolis whose wealth la esti
mated at $1,000,000 and over. Then New
York had little more than 200,000 people;
now, ino'.uding adjacent town* aud the popu
lation within a radius of fifty miles of Union
Squire, it inelud not far from 2,000,000.
And then, *we had no hotels, newspapers,
libraries, theatres worthy of the name; wo
had no ocean-crossing steamers, no modern
improvements, few foreign fashions, no re
gularly recurring defalcations, littlo offiotal
or IcgisHtivo. oonnption, no stupendous
municipal debt, no reckloas ambitions, no
•booming’ Walt street, not many luxuries,
but ah amiziog amount of public and private
honesty.’
Tilden’s Joke ok Dobshsimer—When
Mr. Tilden, in 1874, was nominated for Gov
ernor of New York, Mr. Doreheimer reoeived
tho nomination for Lieutenant-Governor.
Tho tioket thus headed was elected generally
by about 50,000 nwjority. A little knot of
bermras in Now York city, who usually voted
the Bepublicra ticket, took Mr. Doreheimer,
from his name, to be a German, and scratch
ed their Stato ticket in bis favor, so that he
bad a majority of nearly 53,000. Ono day,
after Mr. Tilden and Mr. Doreheimer hsd
been inaugurated, they met at a political
breakfast at the former’s house in Gramercy
Fork. Mr. Tilden had always felt a little
sore at Mr. Dorsheimer’s extra majority, and
ao when in the current of conversation Mr.
Dorsheimer jestingly ea’d, ‘Well, Go vert or,
reu must remember I had 3.000 more ma-
ority thin yon,” as quick aa a flash Mr.
I’ildea retorted: ‘Yea, you supplied the
3,000 and I lent yoa the 50,000,’
when he was the peer of the most doxterous
pcli'ioians in a State no ed for its able poli
tical manegera.”
We do not believe that Mr. Toomb3 inten
ded his now notorious and il!-ad vised tele
gram to carry with it any political significance
whatever. It was merely one of his reckieee
whimsicalities, put and parcel with tha
street corner utterance j and Kimball Hcuao
ebat in which he is wont occasion ally to in
dulge. Besides the BadioaX stalwart would
be likely to “smell a rat ’’when Toombs and
o'her Bourbons of the etraigbtest Southern
Bights sect come ont for Grant—even the
very men wcosa stomachs rejected He race
Greeley. This will sooount m corns mea««
ura for the anti-Grant boom which seems to
bo rieing north of Dixie. It thruld be re
membered, too, that Mr. Toombs is not a cit-
iz n under the new regime of tbe United
States, and scoutA the idea of ever again re
newing his oath of allegisnoe to the govern
ment.

What has beoome of this once popular
r.nd useful organization ? The annual
election of officers should take pises m a
few days, bnt no meeting has been call
ed tbis year, and the society i3 really de-
funot. A sad, and not at all creditable
fact, bnt nevertheless a fact. Zc should
be speedily resurrected, reorganized and
plaosd upon a safe, sound basis. To de
this an energetic, intelligent, go-ahead
farmer Bhould be ohoaen president, and
a similar pereon secretary.
T- ere are numorons gentlemen in B.bb
that will gladly join such sn association,
and strive to make it a success.
Iu the fertile and excellent Howard
Biatrict there is perhaps tbe best agri
cultural club in the Stats, composed ot
an active, enterprising and intelligent
membership, who work together harmo
niously aud pleasantly. They propose
scon to erect an excellent two story Club
room, 40 by 20 feet in size, near their
present. Club room, which last will be
used as a Committee room, and they will
thus erect a durable and noble monument
to their decided victory over three fine
old Georgia aunties daring the recent
State Fair.
Their success and their proposed build
ing should make an impression on our
people, and oause our county society to
awako from its lethargy and go to active
work, after its long period of refresh-
mint. No doubt the Ocmr.lgoe Farmers’
Olub, of tbe old Howaid district, will
join the Oounty Booiety en masse, and
such names as those of Lockett, Myriok,
Bowman, Hcl’, the Johnscss, the How
ards, ef ol, will add strength and charac
ter to the County Booiety.
Ia Batland, such men as Messrs. Ry
der, Hoffetr, Stubbs, McGee, Driggers
aud others will surelv oo-operate.
Messrs. Hollis, Wiley, Nisbet and
others of Godfrey district, Messrs. Sam
C. Chambliss, aud Captain Woolfolk, of
the Hazard, and Messrs. Dukes, White*
sides aud others of East Macon district,
together with the fine planters in the
rich swamp lands adjacent to the city,
would, if united, make our County Soci
ety the pride aud boa it of our farming
population. Let us meet, reorganize,
sleot effioers who will attend the meet
ings, and thus help the State Agricultu
ral Booiety, and its able President, our
own feilow-citisju, Colonel Hardeman,
aud inform ourselves at the same time.
